Description

Blue Cat's Stereo Chorus - Wide Stereo Chorus Effect Plug-in (RTAS, VST, Audio Unit, DirectX) (Freeware)

Based on Blue Cat's Chorus plugin technology, Blue Cat's Stereo Chorus has the same versatility and crystal-clear sounding capabilities as its little brother, plus a subtle to very deep stereo effect feature: just play with the 'stereo' control and get this famous widening stereo chorus effect. You will feel like the sound is turning around your head.

The built-in Blue Cat's skinning engine enables you to skin this plug-in: adapt the user interface to your needs and customize the look of your Blue Cat's plugin! 3 skins are included in the install package. This web sites offers you to download more skins or learn how to create new ones. It's all free!

The 'Smooth Update' mechanism will let you enjoy continuous mono to stereo transitions without any audible 'click' or 'plop' : automation support is smooth and precise.

You can now control this plug-in with an external MIDI controller thanks to the included advanced MIDI CC mapping support.
